EltaMD UV Restore Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 40 Untinted 1.7 oz — Broad-Spectrum, Hydrating Daily Defense

EltaMD UV Restore Untinted is a 100% mineral SPF 40 face sunscreen that protects from UVA/UVB rays while replenishing moisture and improving the look of sun-damaged skin.

This lightweight, untinted facial sunscreen blends zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with skin-supporting ingredients like squalane, ginger root extract, and saccharide isomerate. It’s formulated to offer broad-spectrum mineral protection without dyes, fragrance, or parabens, and it’s non-comedogenic so it layers easily under makeup or worn alone. The product focuses on daily defense while helping the appearance of mature, discolored, or sun-affected skin.

How does this mineral SPF protect my skin every day?

EltaMD UV Restore uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to physically block and scatter UVA and UVB radiation. Mineral filters work immediately upon application and are less likely to irritate sensitive skin compared with some chemical sunscreens. Apply as the last step of your morning routine and reapply according to sun exposure and activity.

• Broad-spectrum protection from mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide)
• SPF 40 appropriate for daily urban and outdoor exposure
• Non-chemical formula that’s suitable for sensitive or reactive skin

Will it help the appearance of sun-damaged or mature skin?

While primarily a sunscreen, this formula includes squalane to restore hydration and ginger root extract plus saccharide isomerate to support smoother texture and even-looking tone. These ingredients aim to improve suppleness and reduce the visible signs associated with sun damage over time when used consistently. It’s designed to complement—not replace—targeted pigment or anti-aging treatments.

• Squalane for replenishing moisture and softer-feeling skin
• Ginger root extract and saccharide isomerate to support improved texture and tone
• Non-comedogenic, suitable for layering with other skincare products

How do I use EltaMD UV Restore in my routine?

Apply UV Restore as the final step of your morning skincare routine after serums and moisturizers. Dispense enough product to achieve full coverage on the face and neck, and smooth gently; reapply during prolonged sun exposure or after sweating, swimming, or towel drying. It works well under makeup and can be used daily as part of sun protection habits.

• Use as last morning step over moisturizer or treatments
• Reapply every two hours when outdoors or after water exposure
• Compatible with makeup — apply then allow to set before foundation

Is this sunscreen appropriate for all skin types?

Yes—EltaMD formulated this sunscreen to be hypoallergenic, dye- and fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic. The mineral-based formula tends to be well-tolerated by sensitive, oily, combination, and mature skin types. If you have specific concerns about irritation or an active skin condition, patch-test or consult a dermatologist.

• Dermatologist-recommended, non-irritating mineral formulation
• Free of fragrance, dyes, and parabens to reduce sensitivity risk
• Designed for daily use on sun-damaged, mature, or problem-prone skin
